SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory
Committee is a Federal advisory committee. The Committee was
established by section 601 of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard
Authorization Act of 2018, (Pub. L. 115-282, 132 Stat. 4192), and is
codified in 46 U.S.C. 15105. The Committee must operate under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, (Pub. L. 117-286, 5
U.S.C. ch. 10), and 46 U.S.C. 15109. The National Boating Safety
Advisory Committee provides advice to, consults with, and makes
recommendations to the Secretary of Homeland Security, via the
Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, on matters relating to national
recreational boating safety.
The Committee is required to meet at least once a year in
accordance with 46 U.S.C. 15109(a). We expect the Committee will hold
meetings at least twice a year, but it may meet more frequently.
Under provisions in 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(6), if you are appointed as
a member of the Committee, your membership term will expire on December
31st of the third full year after the effective date of your
appointment. The Secretary of Homeland Security may require an
individual to have passed an appropriate security background
examination before appointment to the Committee, 46 U.S.C. 15109(f)(4).
All members serve at their own expense and receive no salary or
other compensation from the Federal Government. The only compensation
[[Page 22417]]
the members may receive is for travel expenses, including per diem in
lieu of subsistence, and actual reasonable expenses incurred in the
performance of their direct duties for the Committee in accordance with
Federal Travel Regulations. If you are appointed as a member of the
Committee, you will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and
a Gratuitous Services Agreement.
In this solicitation for Committee members, we will consider
applications for four positions as members representing recreational
boating organizations.
Each member of the Committee serves as a representative and must
have particular expertise, knowledge, and experience in matters
relating to the function of the Committee, which is to advise the
Secretary of Homeland Security on the matters described above.
The members who will fill the positions will be appointed as
representatives to represent the position described above and are not
Special Government Employees as defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a).
In order for the Department, to fully leverage broad-ranging
experience and education, the National Boating Safety Advisory
Committee must be diverse with regard to professional and technical
expertise. The Department is committed to pursuing opportunities,
consistent with applicable law, to compose a committee that reflects
the diversity of the Nation's people.
If you are interested in applying to become a member of the
Committee, email your application to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d39d9180929093a6a0b0b4fdbebabf"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="db9599889a989baea8b8bcf5b6b2b7">[email protected]</span></a> as provided in the
